Splendid concubine

Chapter 245 Deep Digging
What is going on in this?If no one doubted Mrs. An Guohou's appearance, Mrs. An Guohou did look very similar to her own daughters.Liu Ruyi boldly guessed that Mrs. An Guohou was not the former Mrs. An Guohou, but some kind of relative of Mrs. An Guohou?
For some reason, everyone has to hide this fact.

Sending Linglong to inquire about the news, Liu Ruyi quickly came out of the room and went back to the banquet. When she returned to the banquet, she found that Mrs. An Guohou was leading a group of little girls to play chess pieces.

This is a game that has only recently become popular, that is, reach out and grab a few chess pieces in the palm of your hand, and others will guess, and the one who guesses the closest to the real number will win.

Mu Zitan guessed correctly several times in a row, so excited that he forgot about his ladylike demeanor, and almost stood up on the stone stool.

This Mrs. An Guohou has some tricks, and she can coax Mu Zitan into a happy mood.

Although Mu Zitan appears to have a gentle personality, is approachable and easy to talk to, but in fact it is difficult to get close to.

Mrs. An Guohou is really capable!

Seeing Liu Ruyi's return, Mrs. An Guohou hurriedly greeted her: "The princess is back, come and play together."

Liu Ruyi smiled and shook her hand, she declined her politely, but she didn't take it seriously, probably because she thought Liu Ruyi had a weird temper!

Liu Ruyi carefully observed Mrs. An Guohou, there seemed to be some thin calluses on her fingers, this is Mrs. An Guohou who doesn't want to be pampered at all.Looking at those traces, it looks like someone who danced with a gun and played with a stick.

The question in Liu Ruyi's mind was even more serious. Of course, if her appearance was similar to the real Mrs. An Guohou, there was also a possibility that it was the disguise technique. The disguise technique is a very magical skill, and Liu Ruyi knew a thing or two about it. .

Ordinary disguise techniques can't achieve the effect of not being seen through for several years.Unless it's the skin she wears on her face, not her own.

This thought made Liu Ruyi feel chills all over her body. In front of Liu Ruyi, she was playing with a group of little girls with a smile. Is it a human or a devil?

Mrs. An Guohou seemed to be able to vaguely detect the changes in Liu Ruyi's breath and eyes, and gave Liu Ruyi a slightly surprised look.

Liu Ruyi quickly suppressed the emotions in her heart, and smiled at her, and she also smiled back at Liu Ruyi with a gentle face, but in Liu Ruyi's view, her smile was still as terrifying as a ghost.

Finally, when it was getting late, Mu Zitan and the other women also said goodbye one after another. When walking out, Mu Zitan said with emotion: "I haven't had such fun in a long time. Mrs. An Guohou is really a wonderful person." .”

"Yes!" Liu Ruyi sighed lightly and replied.

Mu Zitan tilted his head, his eyes were full of doubts, he seemed to be a little puzzled, why Liu Ruyi sighed.

"Get back in the car, Liu Ruyi wants to talk to you." Liu Ruyi said to Mu Zitan.

"By the way, Mrs. An Guohou invited Liu Ruyi just now, and she will come to play often in the future!" Mu Zitan was excited, and jumped into the car, leaving such a sentence for Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi couldn't help but worry that Mrs. An Guohou was such a dangerous person. What was she trying to do with Mu Zitan in this way?If it's just to stabilize An Guohou's position, then there's nothing to say, but what if it's not!

After getting into the carriage, there was no one around to eavesdrop, so Liu Ruyi whispered her discovery and thoughts to Mu Zitan.

Mu Zitan opened his mouth wide in surprise, not knowing what to say.In the end, he could only lower his head and say in a low voice: "Will Liu Ruyi go to her house to play, or have any contact with her."

"It's good to go out to play, she's flattering you like that, what kind of thoughts are she holding?" Liu Ruyi sighed.

In the evening, Linglong came back after having dinner, looking very tired.

Lin Long is not alone, she has some under her command, little beggars, brothel girls, as the source of all the information, these are her elder brother.

Liu Ruyi felt very good, so she let them continue to develop.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly, you don't look very good." Liu Ruyi asked Linglong.

Linglong walked over and poured down half of Liu Ruyi's tea in one breath, then said angrily: "The more she investigates, the more she feels that there is something wrong, but there is no evidence at all, and everyone in her house has mouths like It's like it's sealed, and they won't reveal half a word. But Liu Ruyi noticed that it seems that their wife was not so young from the beginning, and she was still a little old. It was not until about three years ago that their wife was young. Get up, I heard that you took some medicine."

"That means the fakes came three years ago? Are there other people in their house? Do you believe this statement?" Liu Ruyi asked repeatedly.

"Most of the other people in their house believe it, because according to their performance, it seems that this guy is no different from the real person." Linglong said coldly, still a little angry.

"This will probably make Liu Ruyi think more. If An Guohao also knows about this, then she and those sons and daughters are all accomplices. It is a good thing that this woman replaced Mrs. An Guohou with their acquiescence. But if they are not accomplices, this woman must have been hiding beside Mrs. An Guohou for a long time, so you can go and find out if any of the personal servants disappeared before Mrs. An Guohou changed her face?" Liu Ruyi ordered Linglong.

Linglong turned around and went out to inquire again. Liu Ruyi was bored, so it was passed that Mu Zitan played chess guessing with her again.

"This is quite fun. Liu Ruyi and the others should play it more often in the future." The few court ladies Mu Zitan ordered, the few court ladies did not recognize Mu Zitan, and helped them, naturally they all nodded in agreement.

When the night was getting darker, Linglong who went out to inquire about the news came back.

"Liu Ruyi found out that during the period when Mrs. An Guohou changed her face, a maid who had been with her for more than half a year disappeared. Later, Mrs. An Guohou said that the maid had violated her taboo and sold it out. It's gone." Linglong said with a look of indignation on her face.

"Then, did you ask by the way, what is the difference between Madam An Guohou's temperament before and now?" Liu Ruyi hurriedly asked.

"Before I heard that he was a bit dull and not good at dealing with people, so he rarely went out, and even her children didn't have much contact with her. An Guohou often didn't visit her for ten days and a half months. At first glance, the life was very deserted. But after changing her face, she seemed to gradually become cheerful and good at dancing, and An Guohou often spent the night in her room. Even the children liked her very much, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was also not good Not bad." Linglong said a lot in one breath.

"Okay, I got it, you go down first! Wash up early, have a meal and rest!" After Liu Ruyi instructed Linglong, she tapped her finger on the table, thinking carefully.

The point that replaced the real Mrs. An Guohou should be the missing maid beside her.

But why did she replace Mrs. An Guohou? Is it because she accidentally killed Mrs. An Guohou, or did she premeditate?

What Liu Ruyi prefers is that she has premeditated it, because even if an ordinary maid accidentally kills someone, it is impossible. She thinks of using the disguise technique to pretend to be someone else's life. Besides, how can an ordinary maid have such tricks? What about the superb disguise technique?
But why is she pretending to be Mrs. An Guohou?
It is said that a few years ago, An Guohou was just an ordinary official family, not outstanding, not very good, if she just enjoyed the power and power, she could change to another family to enjoy it, although An Guohou's mansion is not bad now However, it is naturally much better to expend the energy in it than to find a master at all.

Or could it be said that she had premeditated, and just relied on a well-controlled backstage to enter the court?

Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi wrote down everything she knew, and sent it to Xiao Moli overnight in a letter.

In this way, even if An Guohou wants to get in touch with any secrets, Xiao Moli will stop him.

After finishing all this, Liu Ruyi just wanted to sleep when the moon was in the sky.I yawned, I was really tired today, especially if I wasted my mind.

I slept soundly all night, but I got up very late the next day, and the breakfast time had already passed.

"Miss, the crown prince sent someone to look for you and gave you this jade pendant, that is, can you understand what she means?" Linglong saw that Liu Ruyi had just woken up, and came over with a jade pendant.

Liu Ruyi looked at the jade pendant carefully. The carving on it was very simple, but it was two fish connected end to end.

Liu Ruyi put the jade pendant on the table, pretending not to understand what the prince meant.

"Where did Mu Zitan go? Let's go and play with Mu Zitan. It looks like the weather outside is good today, and it's suitable for going out to play." Liu Ruyi ordered, standing up and leaving first. It's not big, but it's also playful, and they all agree, and they all look happy.

"Miss, the people sent by His Royal Highness are still waiting outside!" Linglong whispered to Liu Ruyi.

"You can take the blame. You forgot to tell Liu Ruyi on the spot, and Liu Ruyi also forgot to ask." Liu Ruyi said to Linglong with a smile.

Linglong glared at Liu Ruyi: "Miss, you are so bad, so you are not afraid of the villain behind Linglong cursing you?"

"Liu Ruyi is naturally not afraid, your lady and I are not afraid of crooked shadows." Liu Ruyi teased her.

"Miss, what they said is cursing you, what does it have to do with shadows? Shadows are not afraid of being crooked, isn't that what the devil said?"

Liu Ruyi smiled, didn't answer, and strode out first.

Behind Linglong was a series of shouts: "Miss, miss, wait for me, miss."

Liu Ruyi smiled and walked faster.
